Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition is releasing for Nintendo Switch on December 27, but will only be available digitally.

The Nintendo Switch, despite some hardware limitations, has been surprisingly friendly to Musou games. So far Hyrule Warriors,Fire Emblem Warriors and Warriors Orochi 4 have all hit the system, and today Koei Tecmo America announced plans to bring a definitive edition of Dynasty Warriors 8to the hybrid console before the end of 2018.

Specifically, Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition will be releasing for Nintendo Switch digitally on December 27, 2018. This version of the game will cost $39.99 at launch, but those who pick it up during its first week on sale will receive a 10% discount. Sadly, Koei Tecmo confirmed to DualShockers that there are no plans to release Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch physically in the west.

This port includes all of the DLC content that both Dynasty Warriors 8 and Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends received. Koei Tecmo America also revealed that those who have picked up Warriors Orochi 4 on Switch will receive some special bonus costumes if they decide to pick up Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition.

This announcement came alongside a ton of new screenshots showcasing the game on Nintendo Switch, so you can check those out below.
